Plastic can be used to coat steel pipes in oil and gas applications and thus minimize the potential for corrosion of the underground steel pipes. The plastic coating system typically consists of three layers:

  • Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) on the surface of the steel pipe

  • Adhesive

  • Top coat made from polyethylene or polypropylene
